The Telstra Wireless Telemetry service supports machine to machine (M2M) communications where a remote machine is monitored or controlled by a central service/device.
Wireless Telemetry is when the network link between the two machines is established via a cellular network (GPRS, 3G or Next G (TM) networks). Any machine, static (ie. vending machines) or moving (ie, Cars, Trucks), located indoors or out, for both leisure and business use, could have cellular mobile technology embedded.
Typical industries using Wireless Telemetry (M2M) solutions include:
- Utilities – to monitor remote substations and provide meter readings
- Transport – fleet management of vehicles, cargo or any other asset.
- Agriculture – to monitor moisture levels in the soil to activate irrigation when required
- Security – monitoring of remote sites or equipment and transmission of security camera footage.
